How about this coming Sunday the 20th morning at Whistler?

Hi Doug, I don't know why you don't want to get the membership from BCSA. It's just get you covered during the training session. This year, I'm helping Chris to build a GS program for NSST. This is our first season building a GS program, so we are always looking for anyone who is interested in speed. For the Seymour program, I guess NSST only has their freestyle training there. The gates training there was setup by someone else. Contact me if you have other question about the NSST training program. Best regards, Pan

Hi Doug, I come from East coast, so I don't know any things about Seymour. If you going to attend one of these NSST sessions, you need BCSA membership in order to get cover. This NSST training is not relate to snow school session. A++ D

It's forecasting snow this afternoon and tonight. I will be riding at Grouse today. If anyone interested in training session tonight, feel free to contact me. Cheers Pan

Hi Doug, I was riding mostly at Whistler last week. The NSST training sessions are every Tuesday and Friday night at Grouse. Tuesday session starts on Dec 28 and Friday starts on Jan 07. Participant can show up on soft/hard boots. If there are enough interested, I can setup brush gates for training. I will be on red/black pants with purple/black jacket, white helmet, white/red goggles on white Endeavor freeride board or black Volki raceboard. I also give training sessions for snow school on Monday and Wed evening. If you see me, you are welcome to pass by and say hi. Cheers Pan

New for the 2011 season NSST will be offering a GS program that will help to develop alpine racing in the Vancouver area. If you are more interested in speed and going around gates then hitting jumps, NSST's alpine program is the perfect place for you. This season we are looking to build the ground work to build this program and get you the coaching you need to advance your riding. Dates are still tentative and depending on the interest we will have some flexibility with how we set the program up. For the 2011 season we are hoping to have training available one night a week and one weekend day. For more information or program requests please contact Chris at info@nsst.ca directly. I will be also assisting in GS training program this season. Hope to see more alpine riders in BC. Best

Got back from Blackcomb today. Lots of hidden rocks in the lower section. Strongly recommend downloading. Anyone know where I can find the back bail of F2 binding (size:large) in Vancouver region? I'm also looking for lift blocks if available. thx

Last Sunday, I saw bunch of riders on race boards. I think that's your group. If I can find the bail for my binding and my leg is ok, may be I will come up with my race board this weekend before they will close on 24th. Anyone interested?

I was at SBX in Cypress and Stoneham. I've seen most top riders are in freestyle/freeriding setting (-5 to +5 rar, +15 to +20 front) and most of them are on palmer riser.

JP1, probably, I'm the only instructor in Gray Rocks ski school who can give a plate lesson. I've been teaching in Gray Rocks for a while, but I travel frequently to other ski resorts, especially last two years. That may be why you don't see me on snow. You come from New Jersey? We always have NJ ski race clubs coming to Gray Rocks for race week during January. Do you know these clubs? PM me if you plan to ride at Gray Rocks.

I may be helping the National during that week. If I don't need to work, I will join this gathering. Please put me in the "may be" list. There may be a bordercross event at Mont Habitant on March 29. Training and practice on Saturday organized by Quebec Association. I work at Gray Rocks. If you guys are coming, I can try if I can arrange something for this gathering.
